some of the the smartest shit I've heard

10
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.879
this offseason has come out of this
man's mouth. I'm stoked to have him

11
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.439
on the show. We've been trying
to get this on the books for like

12

00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.840
Man if I'm like, I'm a
fan of yours, so like I'm

19
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.760
stoked to have you on the show, and I try to replicate that energy

20
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.480
and put you over. To borrow
a term from the wrestling world, put

21
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.439
you over as strong as I can. We're little late getting the stream started.

22
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.920
We could have we could have talked
about El Camino's for for thirty minutes

23
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.359
straight before going live. We could
have, Man, I didn't know if

24
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.400
they were ready for that or not. Maybe into bonus show. Bonus show.

25
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.920
Yeah, we'll get some cars,
set it up for the next time.

26
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.120
Have a layup going, so before
you get started. Man, I'm

27
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.520
a big fan of yours, some
big fan of Bars network. You're what

28
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.759
you what you did during the draft
process is unrivaled by anyone now to me,

29
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.319
national media wise, anybody. Man, you you did an exceptional job,

30
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.800
especially focused with the Titans. Man. I really appreciate you, and

31
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.560
I feel like I can speak for
others and say we appreciate you for all

32
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.240
the work you do during the draft
season and throughout the season too, because

33
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.240
I mean, you're really one of
the smartest minds we got in the Titans

34
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.639
content world. I feel like,
man, I appreciate you saying that that

35
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.759
that means a lot because there's a
lot. I mean, you know,

36
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.000
like you're in the content game too. It's like people don't always take the

37
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.599
time to tell you that they appreciate
you. So I appreciate you taking the

38
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.599
time to say that. And it's
something that I work really hard on.

39
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.199
And sometimes you get to those points
where it's like two am and I'm I'm

40
00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.000
grinding, Like the Southeast Missouri tape, I'm like, is anybody even paying

41
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.240
attention? Is anybody even given a
shit? So it's it's good to hear

42
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.520
that that that goes goes notice.
So I appreciate that. Man, What

43
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.280
what got you into the content game? What had you wanting to get into

44
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.080
media and podcasting? So I'll be
honest, I'm a big, big soccer

45
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.680
fan, and I drew a lot
of my inspiration from a lot of the

46
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.280
type of content that they make over
there in England. For the soccer over

47
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.240
there, they have a there's an
arsenal fan TV that they have, so

48
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.159
as you can tell with the name, a lot of inspiration came from them,

49
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.479
and it really was just a matter
of giving fans the voice you know,

50
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.879
we get we we as Titans fans. We see the national media how

51
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.400
they talk about us. We see
the local media sometimes how they talk about

52
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:43.560
us, but nobody really gives a
shit or listens to the regular fan of

53
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.800
me and you as much as they
can, you know what I mean.

54
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.240
So that's the driver for me,
man. I want to be able,

55
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.360
especially after the games. I do
the interviews outside the stadiums. Yeah,

56
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.120
I want to get raw reactions from
fans like you and I after the game

57
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.759
because we have a ton of you
know, we have a ton of smarts

58
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:01.680
within the fan base, and we
have a ton of emotion that within the

59
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:03.919
fan base too, that people are
due to get out. I mean,

60
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.680
that's what sports is about. His
emotion and it's not just about the national

61
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.800
figureheads emotion or the coach's emotion at
the press conference, is about the fans

62
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.639
as well. So I strive for
that. Man, we got our boy

63
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.439
Jake in the comment. Jake's been
on the show before. I'm gonna try

64
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:24.199
and complete the trifecta and get Jonathan
on at some point. But you guys

65
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.199
kill it on the Morning Glory Show
Thursdays at seven on the Glory Day Sports

66
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.120
YouTube channel. How did that show
kind of come together for you? What?

67
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.759
What was it? Because Jake told
me he just put out a call

68
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.600
one morning and said, hey,
who wants to do a show? And

69
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.759
you stepped up to the plate.
What was it about the opportunity that you

70
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.879
saw that you liked and you wanted
to be a part of. Man,

71
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.879
Jake's another guy just like you that
I've really admired from Afar and you know,

72
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.240
I just started this. I'm really
new to the Titans content content game

73
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.319
too. I've only been in it
for about a year and a half,

74
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.279
but I've been in it for much
longer than that, you know, just

75
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.040
from Afar watching. So I've always
watched guys like Jade. I've always watched

76
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.160
it as like you have always watched
guys like you know, hearned it,

77
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:11.120
I mean just the ogs of it. So when he did that, I

78
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.319
was like, this is And I've
always I feel like if I was gonna

79
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.279
get on a show with somebody,
it's it's gonna be with somebody that understands

80
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.639
the game, and we can have
real conversations about the Titans, because there's

81
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:24.519
one thing to just talk about the
Titans and be emotionally written talking about them,

82
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.959
but we I like to have some
logic talking about the Titans and talk

83
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.360
with other guests. And yep,
Jonathan's full of full of it as well.

84
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.160
But I saw he put that out
and I was like, man,

85
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.680
I can't miss this, and he
gave me the opportunity to, you know,

86
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.560
be a close on the show and
it's been great ever since. Man,

87
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.879
I don't even have to have coffee
for it, and that's how amped

88
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.759
up I'm ready for it, you
know. Yeah, I still got to

89
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.839
have my coffee for it. I'm
still like I I just told you before

90
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.800
we went live, like I'm do
a the day job at eight am,

91
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:56.199
so like my alarm is usually set
for seven am, but it's more like

92
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:59.959
seven twenty seven twenty five that I
turn on. I turn on the show

93
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.879
and join you guys. So like
I'm I'm still like in zombie mode.

94
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.480
But that's you know, that's a
good thing. Depends though. Man.

95
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.639
If it's if it's football season and
the weather's nice outside, you know,

96
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.519
I'm a lot more. I'm a
lot more of a productive person outside of

97
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.399
football season. I'll be honest.
I mean I'll go to the gym every

98
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.360
now and then I'll actually talk to
my family, you know. Yeah,

99
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.600
it's just it's outside of football season. Man. We get a lot of

100
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.680
time back so in a certain way, especially in this little dead period,

101
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.920
right yeah, yeah, you know, yeah. I know. My wife

102
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.519
was was thrilled when the draft was
over. I remember her saying, like,

103
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.439
do I get my husband back now? And I'm like, I don't

104
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:39.600
know, babe. I just got
my twenty twenty five notebook and I got

105
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.680
tape. Yeah, the Ota isn't
coming. It's really it really doesn't sleep

106
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.920
a whole lot anymore. I think
the NFL has done a masterful job and

107
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:53.120
kind of marketing their product. You
get like a little extra time with the

108
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.600
draft being later, and then you've
got the schedule release that they make a

109
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.000
big deal out of, and then
before you know it, OTA is in

110
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.680
training Camper here. So that's that's
by designer. That's they got you hooked,

111
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.879
man, they got you hooked.
Yeah. I tell my wife,

112
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.160
I'm like, take it up with
the NFL. Email Roger Goodell, let

113
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:13.160
him know you want your husband back. But man, before we get into

114
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.800
the Titans, talk about where this
team is at heading into the summer.

115
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:20.079
I gotta know, b Will,
what what did a money hooker do to

116
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.360
you? What did a money hooker
do to you? So it's it's a

117
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.800
little bit of betrayal. I feel
like, you know, I was really

118
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.639
you know, with I got Trail
that's on the X and One show too,

119
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.439
and he as soon as the deal
and the ink was dry with the

120
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.920
deal he got from John Robinson.
I think it was ten or eleven a

121
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.360
year yea, Trail said absolutely not
yeah, And I fought him tooth and

122
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.879
nail and I was and I watched
a moni hooker and I didn't you know,

123
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.839
he was a byproduct of what we
were doing. And you know,

124
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.199
back then he was he wasn't the
main guy in the secondary. He was

125
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.480
the guy that'll pop up and make
a play when we need to make a

126
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:58.319
play. And I thought that was
okay. Then I got to looking at

127
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.120
the safety market, how much he
safety is getting paid around the league,

128
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.160
and I was like, we're paying
this guy, damn near Ferrari money for

129
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.240
Mustang production. And I like Mustangs. Don't get me wrong. Yeah,

130
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.519
but you know the thing with him
is that he gets paid a lot of

131
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.000
money and he's not that for me. He's not that much of a difference

132
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:16.879
maker out there. He's and if
you look at if you looked at the

133
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.800
Calvin Ridley tape from when the Jags
played us, he a Moni Hooker showed

134
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.319
up more on that tape than Ridley
did. And it's it's across the across

135
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.680
the board with that. And my
worry is, as we get better,

136
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.920
we also have to up our standards
as Titans fans, especially in that secondary

137
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.080
position, because the secondary has improved
a lot. Yeah, Hooker to me

138
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.000
looks like he's going to be the
week leak week link in the secondary and

139
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.120
he's going to be targeted by these
other offenses. If I was game planning

140
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.480
against the Titans defense before he drafted
Devantay Sweat, I would have gassed us

141
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.399
and ran it down our throat.
But we got Sweat now, which is

142
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.559
good. But now I'm looking at
the secondary and I'm looking at a money

143
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.960
hooker man, you know, I
mean to your point, if you look

144
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.919
at how they attacked the secondary this
offseason so far, he kind of did

145
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.919
go from being like the safe bet, like you didn't have to worry about

146
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.120
a money hooker. He was kind
of the top dog in the secondary to

147
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.480
now all of a sudden, you're
looking at it like, I don't know,

148
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.200
he might be the weakest part of
that group right now. But I

149
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.279
just wanted to, you know,
I wanted to let the people know.

150
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.080
I just wanted to let the people
know. Give you the chance to explain

151
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.759
the dislike for a Monei hooker there, That's all I'm saying. Yeah,

152
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.039
I don't. I don't know,
man. I think it's it's accountability.

153
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.159
I wouldn't say it's just like I
don't just like a money hooker. You

154
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.840
know, gap lives matter. We
both got a gap, so you know,

155
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.360
it's all good with me. But
it's just the on the field,

156
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.279
on the field thing. Yeah,
So I hear you, I hear you.

157
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.080
So, how do you feel about
the state of this roster now that

158
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.440
the dust is settled on the draft, the main wave of a free agency

159
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.240
is coming gone. We've got OTAs, guys are out there in their underwear

160
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.200
running around practicing. We're at that
point of the offseason where the roster,

161
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.720
I think for the most part probably
is what it's going to be minus an

162
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.759
addition here or there. How do
you feel about the date of the roster

163
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.399
given what the Titans the Resources had, what they could check off the list

164
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.360
this offseas, and do you feel
like they're in a good spot right now

165
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.960
or are you still kind of worried? So I would say, if I

166
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.759
were to rate how much worry I
have for the roster, excuse me,

167
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.399
I'll tell you I'm out at about
six right now, honestly. And I'll

168
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:16.960
start with the offense. You know, the offense. Ran Carthin's did an

169
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.159
exceptional job this offseason, but he
couldn't fix everything. I mean, let's

170
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.480
be honest, this roster was a
shambles. Yeah. But the receiver room.

171
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.759
I'm content with the receiver room.
I mean we got the big names

172
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.480
with Calvin Ridley coming in, with
Tyler Boyd coming in to add to DeAndre

173
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.360
Hopkins, and then we have Kyle
Phillips and Treylon Burke's on the back end

174
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.159
of that. But my biggest gripe
with the receiver room I spoke about it

175
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.799
on The Morning Glory Show or The
Morning Glory Show, is we do not

176
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.360
have a guy that's gonna make something
happen outside of the schematics of the system,

177
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.039
you know, and we're gonna need
that, especially if we stumble into

178
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.039
the playoffs and you know, you
need a guy to convert on third and

179
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.960
seven and break a tackle. Because
if you look at the analytics of cal

180
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.080
offense when he was in Cincinnati,
I want to say almost sixty percent of

181
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.320
their throws were to the flats,
right, So once you catch the ball

182
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.559
on the flat, you got to
make a guy miss because there's always going

183
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.320
to be a guy there no matter
what covers they're playing to playing Cover two,

184
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.399
they're playing Cover three, somebody's flying
out to the flats from the linebacker.

185
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.039
You've got to make a guy miss. And I don't see that in

186
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.840
this receiver room. So that's my
that's my biggest thing with the receiver room.

187
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.000
Do you think we have somebody that
can make a guy missing the receiver

188
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.759
receiver room, Burke's supposed to be
that guy. I think the hope is

189
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.679
that maybe maybe Burke's could be that
guy. I think, I mean,

190
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:39.480
maybe Ridley is probably your best option
because of the quickness there. Maybe that's

191
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.000
part of the reason they drafted Jakwan
Jackson, though it kind of sounds like

192
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.519
his primary focus is going to be
as a return man and Stony you were

193
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.480
probably just like me. Well,
I almost stroked out when we drafted.

194
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.960
I wasn't I wasn't the big who
was on board. We both know,

195
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.879
we both know who was on bar
still that we could have grabbed that would

196
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:07.799
have solved this problem. Yeah,
and then he goes to Miami, which

197
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.720
is probably the best situation for talking
about Malik Washington by the way, Washing

198
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.840
for those that don't know. Yeah, goes to Miami, which is probably

199
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.480
the best possible scenario for him to
land in where you've got some studs in

200
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.320
front of you that are going to
require attention and you can kind of ease

201
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.120
into that role. Man, I
I didn't get the vision. I mean

202
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:31.639
it's obvious, like Tyke Tolbert was
really high on Jawan Jackson from attending his

203
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.840
pro day, and you know,
there's been reports from the OTAs this week

204
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.320
that he does look pretty nifty out
there and his breaks and and you know,

205
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.759
I just I don't know. He's
in the category of I'll have to

206
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.080
see it to believe it. With
Jakwan jacks exactly, but and he has

207
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.399
an uphill battle to get to the
roster too. Yeah, yeah, I

208
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.440
mean there are some bodies at wide
receiver. It feels like this is a

209
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.840
deeper group than they've had in a
in a long time. There's gonna be

210
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.559
a lot of competition for him.
There. You kind of answered the question

211
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.519
for me. But outside of Malik
Washington, do you think there were other

212
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:11.200
options for this team in the draft
that maybe could have checked that box for

213
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.320
you? Should they have invested a
little earlier in wide receiver in your opinion,

214
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.759
I would have loved us too.
I mean, obviously neighbors. If

215
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.840
he was there, that's exactly who
I'd earmarked for us to for us to

216
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.360
get, That's who I wanted.
Yeah, and I wouldn't have been mad

217
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.200
if we would have got a guy
like Odonse at eight. You know,

218
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.480
that would have been fine because we're
gonna need to fill that X receiver void

219
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.000
here within the next year. Really, I mean, let's be honest,

220
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.919
within the next year. But Odunsee
could also float around to the X,

221
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.639
the HY, the Z. He
can play all over, so it wouldn't

222
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.159
have been a bad pick. But
I love the Latham pick. But another

223
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.399
guy that I really really wanted.
And it goes to another need of why

224
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.080
I'm really hesitant on this roster defensively, especially is at edge and it's a

225
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.720
guy Mo Kamara from Colorado State.
I mean, that's somebody that I absolutely

226
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.399
wanted at edge. There. Rasa
Weaver is a guy that I'm really more

227
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.600
on than a moni hooker because we
don't have an edge guy that can set

228
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.120
an edge. Yeah, defensively on
the roster right now that you know,

229
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.080
we just don't art and Key's not
going to set an edge. Rasa Weaver

230
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.080
is immune to set in the edge. Uh you know, I mean I

231
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.120
ain't seen him do it. I
can count one hand in his career how

232
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.360
many times I've seen him set the
edge. Well, I'll be honest.

233
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.919
That was one thing that I wanted
to ask you about because I haven't heard

234
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.639
a whole lot of people this offseason
saying it. And it's a it's a

235
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.639
pretty good take in my opinion,
is you know kind of how light the

236
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.120
edge rushers are for this group right
now? And and you pointed out that

237
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:45.399
teams like should be able like wide
zone, outside zone, anything designed to

238
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.279
get the ball out to the perimeter. There a team should have a sad

239
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:54.879
day against this this Titans front.
So give you the floor to explain that

240
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.759
take a little further. Yeah,
So any for me, And this is

241
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.399
another way I'd look at attacking this
defense. That's the way I'm I look

242
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.720
at our team. I'm trying to
look at it from an outsider perspective as

243
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.000
maybe a game plan or something I've
played. I've been in football all my

244
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.799
life. I'm looking at this defense
and how I would attack it. Sneed,

245
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.720
You're not gonna be able to attack
the one. You just can't and

246
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:20.320
your two is probably gonna be overmatched
by Cheeto yep, give or take who

247
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.320
the two is. And then Nickel. We have a really good Nikola and

248
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.159
McCreery that proved to be I mean, he's one of the best at the

249
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.440
catch point in the league last year. He was really good last year.

250
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.000
So through the air it's going to
be difficult. You can attack the linebackers

251
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.279
a little bit, but really to
get your bang for your buck, Like

252
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.399
if you want them first down,
second down, you want to get some

253
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.559
easy ours. To me, I'm
running outside zone or I'm hitting a jet

254
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.799
just to get on the outside because
the guys on the edge we have Landry

255
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.480
Key or Shaw Weaver, especially Weaver
and Key, they're just they're too light.

256
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.080
You know, they're not built for
that. You know, their body

257
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.279
type is not built for that.
And I talk body type because it's that's

258
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:02.639
sort of the language that scouts to
talk to, especially with you know,

259
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.559
a guy like Traylon Burton, his
body type being on the inside. But

260
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:10.960
that's a whole another conversation. But
on the edge with Key, with Weaver,

261
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.039
they're just too light to set the
edge, especially against you know,

262
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.000
in the NFL, we're seeing a
lot of big tackles now, yeah,

263
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.960
and they're big, but they're mobile. I mean, these tackles are badasses.

264
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.559
Yeah, you know, we see
the top two tackles taking this year.

265
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.919
They're huge. Yeah, so they'll
overpower the smaller edge guys like Key,

266
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.240
and they can also get around and
be quicker. You can outflank them

267
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.840
with speed with the receiver, depending
on how you design it, whether it's

268
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:34.919
wide zone or whether it's just a
quick pop pass as a jet. You

269
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.360
know. So it's I think we'll
be in trouble in that aspect. But

270
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.279
the only thing that would save us
there is how athletic our linebackers are with

271
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.840
Sweat and Jeffers Simmons where they don't
have to really worry about a cutback so

272
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:51.320
they can flow there. And then
we also have some physical corners on the

273
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.600
outside and Snead and McCrary, so
that'll help us out a bit too.

274
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:59.679
I was about to say, I
think getting corners defensive backs that are physical,

275
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.200
that are willing to come up and
crash the play is probably a key

276
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.039
to it. And part of me
wonders if Denard Wilson is looking at this

277
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.160
kind of well, the Titans regime
as a whole is kind of looking at

278
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.680
this situation like, you know,
we weren't going to be able to check

279
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.759
every box this offseason. We've we've
heard them say that a couple of times

280
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.599
in media availability throughout the spring.
If they're just like, you know what,

281
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:25.880
we checked as much off the list
as we could, and maybe there's

282
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.759
a way that we can kind of
patchwork something together with you know, safety

283
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.839
and cornerback help to kind of help
mitigate that. But I think you're right,

284
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.680
man. I mean, I look
at that as a potential area that

285
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:45.480
opposing offenses could exploit because of just
the personnel groupings just who who are you

286
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.640
going to put out there to really
set that edge. So we're thinking about

287
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:51.319
the teams, like I'm looking at
the schedule, like the first team that

288
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:55.720
pops up is Green Bay, and
the way that they run the ball could

289
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.519
could be a long day, a
long day for the Titans defense in that

290
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.720
mess at Green Bay as well too. I can't remember off the top of

291
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:03.599
it. I don't remember off the
top of my head. Off it's there.

292
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:08.160
But that's gonna be an interesting game
with Lafleur, you know. So

293
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:15.400
he's salivating at that. Yeah.
So elsewhere on defense, do you feel

294
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.920
like the personnel editions this spring have
been good enough? Oh? Absolutely,

295
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.880
you know, I'm very, very
excited about that corner. We haven't had

296
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.680
a shut down corner in the Titans
history in Nashville. We just haven't.

297
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.079
You know, the closest we've had
to that is, you know, you're

298
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.720
out people altera Ron Werner, you're
chasing mccordy's. Those guys were, you

299
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.359
know, shut down in their day. Cortland Finnegan in his own way,

300
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.200
was shut down. Yeah, but
we haven't had a bona fide, nationally

301
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.880
recognized shut down corner ever. And
Lajarius Sneed is that guy. And when

302
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.079
you're looking at the schedule and you
see these ones that we have to face,

303
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.759
doesn't it feel good to say we
got a guy for that. Yeah?

304
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:57.960
Yeah, absolutely does. Yeah.
And Jake, Jake's got our back

305
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.640
in the comments, Green Bay is
at home so perfect, so at least

306
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.039
we'll have some a little bit of
juice there. But you know, with

307
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:11.000
go ahead to your point, I
was stoked when they signed Cheeto and I'm

308
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.640
like, oh man, they checked
off the cornerback need. Now they can

309
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.559
get get a guy in the draft, and you know we'll be said.

310
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.359
The Lagarious Need trade kind of blindsided
me. And then I'm looking at the

311
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.400
group on paper after that trade and
I'm thinking, man, damn, this

312
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:33.000
is this may be the best top
three defensive backs this this team has ever

313
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.759
seen, between Sneid, Cheeto,
and McCreary in the slot, like this

314
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.960
is this is a good group.
I think this is This is an area

315
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:48.000
where they went from truly weak and
everybody was crying about the offensive line at

316
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.680
the end of last season, and
rightfully so, it was atrocious. But

317
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.599
I kind of stepped back and was
like, hey, this secondary is just

318
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.119
as dire of a situation as this
offensive line, and they took it from

319
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.440
dire to one of the strengths of
this team at this point, and at

320
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.799
least on paper. You know,
you still have to anything can happen in

321
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.880
the NFL. You have to put
that caveat in there. But this is

322
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.160
a group that I think Titans fans
have good reason to get excited over.

323
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.480
It's definitely that, you know,
it has to. It's a testament to

324
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.680
Carthen and the job he's done over
the last you know, year and a

325
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:27.960
half is yeah, with the team
to be able to turn any weakness into

326
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.920
a strength. I mean, we
see Monty Austin Ford out there in Arizona,

327
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.759
a guy that interviewed for the position
that's still working on getting you know,

328
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:40.400
Arizona together. So it's a process, but Carton has really expedited that

329
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:42.759
process, and from all accounts,
after he got the job, that's something

330
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:48.279
that you know, was part of
his pitch to Amy was that this isn't

331
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:51.680
going to be a five year rebuild. It's looking like a three year rebuild,

332
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.640
especially if Levis turns out to be
who he should be. I mean,

333
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:59.599
we're we're ready after next year or
after this year, I think I'm

334
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:03.160
glad you're doing my segues for me. Man, good, good work.

335
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:06.799
You should be the host of the
show today. Oh no, man talking

336
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.000
about Will Levis. Man, I
don't know about you, but it feels

337
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.839
like all of a sudden, there
are like film studies, tape grinders are

338
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.279
out there, like just now getting
around to Will Levis's tape, and like,

339
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.440
holy shit, maybe this kid isn't
the thirty third best quarterback in the

340
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.279
NFL. Maybe he does flash some
pretty elite traits. And the way I

341
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.160
phrased it was like the Titans.
I guess if you're a national analyst,

342
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.119
the Titans are that team that you
get around to in May and June when

343
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:37.680
nothing else is going on and you
can finally get around to these small market

344
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.359
teams. So maybe that's just a
byproduct of that. Guys really are just

345
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.680
now getting around to the Will Levis
tape. But I'm pretty sold on him

346
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.359
in the sense that I think he's
the guy. I think he's shown enough

347
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.400
that you push your chips to the
middle of the table on the rookie contract

348
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:57.039
and you're looking at it as like
the next two years, we've got this

349
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:02.359
guy to maximize his potential. But
what do you need to see from Will

350
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.720
Levis in year two to get to
that point where you feel like, Okay,

351
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.680
this is the franchise guy. There's
no more there's no more evaluating to

352
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:12.880
be done. He's our guy.
What areas that do you think he needs

353
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:17.920
to improve in to get to that
point? So, yeah, I'm really

354
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:22.279
confident and Will Levis being the guy. I would say about seventy percent confident

355
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.160
he can be that guy. But
at thirty percent that really is in the

356
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:30.480
back of my mind, and it's
it really has to do with Levis's temperament,

357
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.000
especially endgame. It's not about his
temperament out off the field or on

358
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:37.680
the sidelines, it's about his temperament
in game as a quarterback. He's really

359
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.759
from my liking, he's two guns
lingky, and to Callahan's liking, he's

360
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.839
two guns slinky too. But all
you know, we've he said it that

361
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.559
call or Levis is two guns lingy. Levis has said it himself. So

362
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:53.640
that's an issue as a quarterback,
especially a young quarterback, when defenses are

363
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:59.160
trying to confuse you, you know, they're they're rotating coverages all on the

364
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.240
back end. They're bringing sim pressures, trying to confuse you and sort of

365
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.640
baiting you and trapping you into that
playing that hero ball, like you have

366
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.160
to make a hero throw every play
when you absolutely don't. And Levis sort

367
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.599
of gets he sort of has that
complex in game, like I've got to

368
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.480
make a hero play. And it's
understandable because if you're if you've been the

369
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.440
best player on your team for your
whole career, you're the best player when

370
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.039
you get to the SEC. I
mean the SEC. I mean we're talking

371
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:27.519
Kentucky though, but the SEC you're
the best player on that team, You're

372
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:32.160
gonna have that complex that you can
do that, you know what I mean.

373
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.759
So, but the NFL is different, Grady different or different Gravy.

374
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.039
So he has to be able to
control his temperament in that in that manner,

375
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.000
and Callahan seems like he's gonna be
the best coach to control his temperament

376
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:49.079
form by you know, not necessarily
giving him those reads like Tim Kelly.

377
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.880
I mean, Tim Kelly says,
just go out there and sling it.

378
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:53.279
Man. We're gonna do hard play
action face and we're gonna throw Yankee all

379
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.839
day. Yeah, you know that's
not gonna be the case. That's not

380
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.359
gonna be the case with Yankee or
Callahan. Yeah, and I think,

381
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.480
you know, I think the situation
in twenty twenty three contributed to that as

382
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:10.759
well, because I think the hero
ball stuff was probably amplified because the receiving

383
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:14.759
situation. Outside of DeAndre Hopkins,
he didn't have guys that could naturally separate,

384
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.960
and he was fighting for his life
on every play behind that offensive line.

385
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.559
So to me, it felt like
there was a lot of his play

386
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.119
kind of screamed, I've got to
do something miraculous or else nothing is going

387
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.480
to happen at all. And so, pardon me, wonders if just by

388
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.440
virtue of theoretically improving the offensive line, I'm not gonna get burned again by

389
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:38.359
saying the offensive line can't get any
worse than it did last year, because

390
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:44.279
that, Yeah, it's crazy.
Who would have thought Andre Dillard worse than

391
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:47.920
Dennis Daily, But here we are. But I think if you just marginally

392
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:52.440
improve the offensive line situation and then
stockpiling weapons around him, it's not just

393
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.559
you know, the Calvin Ridley signing, but the Tyler Boyd signing that you

394
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:59.680
mentioned, Tony Pollard signing, I
think is going to help him out there.

395
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.839
Getting all these weapons around him and
improving the offensive line in front of

396
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.440
him, I think should should make
it a little easier. Maybe he doesn't

397
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:14.039
quite feel compelled to do the hero
ball thing as often now. Something that

398
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.039
Brian Callahan talked about on The Athletic
Football Show that I thought was particularly interesting

399
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:23.799
that pertains to this conversation. He
mentioned getting Levis's completion percentage up, and

400
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.240
I think a lot of people hear
that and they just think, like,

401
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:32.319
why would you coach for a statistic? Why would you coach to like who

402
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:34.680
cares? That seems kind of silly. But if you stop and think about

403
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:40.440
the layers that go into improving your
completion percentage, if he's completing more passes,

404
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.079
it means he's more likely that he's
hitting on more of the underneath,

405
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:48.599
mid range intermediate kind of passes,
the quick passes and stuff like that.

406
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:49.880
And that is, to your point, an element of his game that I

407
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.279
think he does need to improve on. His learning to take those checkdowns,

408
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:59.079
to take the dump off to the
flat, or throwing more of the open

409
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.119
guy underneath for for five yards instead
of going for the kill shot. That

410
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.839
sort of thing. But I think
his go watch him in game, his

411
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:11.400
eyes go straight to the downfield.
They don't start underneath, you know,

412
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.279
And that's just that's something that is
can be coached out of him. But

413
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.400
that's temperamental to when you're dropping back, your eyes shoot up. I mean,

414
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.160
you look like you're on a cartoon
trying to like an astronaut or something,

415
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.039
trying to throw something deep every time. But you know, like like

416
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:30.160
you said, I mean it's Levis
has the capability to be a really,

417
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.559
really really good West Coast quarterback too, with how quick this release is and

418
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:40.920
he doesn't have to be on platform
to make accurate throws strength like strong accurate

419
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:44.319
throws, especially to the flats.
So that can really help in a West

420
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:45.240
Coast off because we're gonna be in
let's be honest, we're gonna be in

421
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.559
a West Coast offense. It's gonna
be a lot of you know, dipping

422
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.799
dunk. Yeah, you know.
And we can talk about this later,

423
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.039
Stony, We can about the runs
game, because they did say, you

424
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:57.759
know, Big Coach is gonna be
the run game. We'll talk about that

425
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:03.640
on the list. But you know, he has the he has the capability

426
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.319
to be a really good West Coast
quarterback. Put it's all in his head

427
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.880
and he's got every other tool that
you need as a quarterback. His temperament

428
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:14.480
off the field, on the sidelines, in the huddle is exactly what you

429
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.319
want in a quarterback. I'd rather
have that than the temperament we had before

430
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.839
with the Tannehill and Mariota. But
you know, he that's what That's another

431
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:23.359
thing. I love, love to
see him. But he has absolutely everything.

432
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:29.279
It's just in between the in between
the ear holes sometimes. So I'm

433
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:32.400
confident he can do it, and
I'm confident Callahan can get him there.

434
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:36.519
Yeah. And and by all accounts, you know, people have said it

435
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:41.359
was something that I missed when I
was scouting him because a lot of the

436
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:45.759
the exterior people that didn't work or
play with Will Levis were saying like,

437
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.680
oh, the dude's kind of quirky, Like I don't know if if players

438
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:51.839
are going to rally around him.
And I think I took that to heart

439
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:53.480
a little too much when I was
scouting Levis, and it was part of

440
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:57.440
the reason why I was so low
on him. But you hear people that

441
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:02.599
played with him, that coach him
talked about how smart he was, how

442
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.599
hard he worked, and all that
sort of thing. And when you hear

443
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:10.279
these conflicting reports from scouts and people
outside the building saying he's quirky, he's

444
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.079
kind of cocky, it was easy
for me. I'll hold myself accountable.

445
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:15.920
It was easy for me to look
at that and say, well, yeah,

446
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.319
of course the people that coached and
played with him are going to say

447
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.559
nice things about him, because you
know, they want to see their boys

448
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.920
succeed. And it reflects well on
them too to say that, you know,

449
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.240
he's this awesome player. But I
think the thing that we're finding out

450
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:33.480
from the first game against Atlanta is
that a lot of that stuff is true.

451
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.920
A lot of that stuff is true. That he's a sharp kid,

452
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.920
that he's a hard worker. And
I'll just I'll never forget the Jeffrey Simmons

453
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.319
quote miked up in that game where
he's like that damn Will Levis can play

454
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:51.880
man like ye to see that moment
where his teammates, not just his teammates

455
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.480
but like one of the cornerstones of
this franchise right now, and Jeffrey Simmons

456
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.400
just light up and you see it
just in real time, like oh shit,

457
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.559
this is a this is a dude
right here. It answered that question

458
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:06.079
for me, and that is something
like you said, I don't think you

459
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:08.640
can coach I don't think you can
coach into somebody. And it's one of

460
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:14.720
the most important traits that your quarterback
can have, is that sort of that

461
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.960
that mentality that guys want to play
for, that guys want to rally around,

462
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.599
the toughness, the want to the
work ethic. And so when he

463
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.640
answered those questions for me, I
was like, all right, let's let's

464
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.319
go. Let's let's build around this
guy while he's still on the rookie deal,

465
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:32.799
and let's let's really give him a
shot to be successful. So that

466
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:34.880
really impressed me with will levis that
part of it, with you know,

467
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:40.000
the guys rallying around him. But
you know what really impressed me even more

468
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:42.519
than that about him, what's that
just with his teammates, is when he

469
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:47.240
got in DeAndre Hopkins' ass on the
sideline. Oh yeah, in one of

470
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:48.960
the games. I mean, this
guy is a rookie quarterback, this is

471
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.039
his third or fourth game in the
league, and he's getting into a Hall

472
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.400
of Famer's ass right there on the
on the sideline. They're going right back

473
00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.119
at it. Yeah, you don't
see that in a rookie quarterback. No,

474
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:00.839
you know what I mean. And
as we have the comments here,

475
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.680
d Ops is numb one fan.
He's a fan of Will Levis. They

476
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.519
didn't really get that many reps in
training camp. It was you know,

477
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.079
Milik Willis, it was Ron Tannehill. They said that we didn't really get

478
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.359
reps until week eight when we were
week six when we started, you know,

479
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:17.920
when he was confirmed as a starter. So Ford hop to already be

480
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:19.960
a big, big fan of his
after that exchange, and them to have

481
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:23.359
the mutual respect for each other and
the understanding that, hey, we just

482
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.759
want to get better. That's what
really impressed me. Man Is with him

483
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:30.359
doing that as a rookie. You
don't see that. Yeah, And we

484
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.480
appreciate you watching chef Ran dropping that
in the comments for us. Uh,

485
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.960
let's move on, because I could
sit here and gush about Will Levis and

486
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:41.400
we can the intricacies of this passing
game and the offense and all that all

487
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.279
day. But I do want to
talk about the run game a bit because

488
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.880
I kind of feel like it's an
aspect of this offense that people are sleeping

489
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:55.319
on and Titans fans after the offense
that they've they had seen for so many

490
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:57.640
years. It looked like we were
kind of getting somewhere with Tim Kelly.

491
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:04.839
But this Brian Callahan offense really feels
like modern NFL and you're seeing passes thrown

492
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:10.640
in volumes you hadn't seen before out
at the OTAs people. People are right

493
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:15.279
to get excited about this offense.
But that's a little nugget you mentioned it

494
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:19.400
before that Bill Callahan's gonna be the
run game coordinator. They've already kind of

495
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:25.480
said like they're gonna mix things up
between gap and zone. I like that.

496
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:29.160
I think that's, you know,
be multiple, be harder to defend.

497
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.799
But I think the byproduct of that
beefing up the offensive line literally getting

498
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:40.359
bigger bodies in the offensive line,
and then adding Tony Pollard even like I'm

499
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:44.559
I'm stoked about the addition of Dylan
Johnson as an undrafted free agent as well.

500
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:48.359
I think he gives him a pretty
a pretty good stable of running backs

501
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.519
here. I kind of feel like
this team's going going to be a sneaky

502
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.119
good rushing team in twenty twenty four. Where do you stand on that?

503
00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.559
Man? I think we have the
opportunity to be really, really good,

504
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:02.440
you know, in the run game, especially depending on who we have at

505
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:06.240
guard. You know, I don't
know if it's going to be Raidings or

506
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:07.920
who it's gonna be, but Raidens
can be really solid in the run game.

507
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:12.799
Cushion Barry is really solid in the
run game. Skeronsk laid them earn

508
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.119
their butter off the run game.
But it's you know, another thing that

509
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:19.599
I'm excited about with the run game, like you said, is how multiple

510
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.279
will be in the run game.
So if you look around the league and

511
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:27.039
you look at these guys, this
is something that Callahan set himself and something

512
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.839
that you do and I know I
do, is look around the best teams

513
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.160
in the league and how they run
the ball and how they do it.

514
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.359
You know, you look at you
look at San Francisco, you look at

515
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:43.119
La La in particular McVeigh. I
mean he had the Bible on one side

516
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:45.720
of his desk and then he had
the wide Zome book on the on the

517
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.599
right side of his desk. But
him, of all people, they're multiple

518
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:53.960
now, you know what I mean, Shanahan's multiple. Now they're nobody's exclusive

519
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:58.920
to to one side of it.
And that's what I loved most about about

520
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:00.640
the nugget that they dropped the work
to be we're gonna run gap end zone.

521
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:06.440
But also with the profiles of linemen
that we're grabbing, it's a lot

522
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:12.079
closer to that McVeigh style offensive lineman
that he's changed to. Big big guys.

523
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:16.400
Got he's got that right guard Dotson
that they just resigned a malleryeh.

524
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:21.200
And when you think wide zone historically
and these linemen, when you think of

525
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.799
the zone scheme, you don't see
mallers like that anymore. It's getting back

526
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:27.599
to the old school, and I
think it's to combat the smaller, quicker,

527
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:30.680
defensive lineman. So you know,
it's sort of like it feels good

528
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.200
to feel like we're ahead of the
curve on something like that, at least

529
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:37.160
for sure, profile archetype wise,
with offensive lineman. Latham's one, I

530
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:42.960
mean, he's he's a beast,
scronsky, just another just a road grader.

531
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:45.119
And then you know, whoever we
put it right guard. It's gonna

532
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.359
be exciting to see. But I
just love that we're going to be in

533
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.960
a multiple scheme running you know,
zone, running gap, and it's really

534
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.319
going to keep them off balance.
So I'm excited about that. Man,

535
00:33:55.319 --> 00:34:00.480
that's really beyond all the passing stuff. I'm not even as I'm more excited

536
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:02.839
about the run game. I mean, let's be honest. Yeah, I

537
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:06.920
We're going to get into the weeds
a little bit here, but I I

538
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:10.599
like it sometimes all right, if
people are watching listening and it turns them

539
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:14.960
off, just let me know and
we can we can broaden our scope again.

540
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:21.400
But Brian Callahan mentioned like studying the
play calling tendencies of Kyle Shanahan and

541
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:27.960
you know, obviously Lafleur and coming
from Zach Taylor and the McVeigh system and

542
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.480
that sort of thing. And I'm
I'm like looking at the forty nine Ers

543
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:36.320
playbook and there's one thing that really
stands out to me is how many like

544
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:40.519
choice routes they run with Christian McCaffrey
out of the backfield. And those things

545
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:45.239
are so hard to defend, especially
when you have a guy like McCaffrey.

546
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:47.159
And so I'm I'm kind of like
reading the tea leaves here and I'm like,

547
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:51.559
man, I just I wonder if
he's going to want to sprinkle more

548
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:59.719
of that into this offense where you're
putting linebackers or edge rushers into immediate conflict

549
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:02.960
not knowing which way the route is
going to break. So I kind of

550
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.400
wanted to get your take on that
and not saying like Christian McCaffrey and ty

551
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:12.199
J. Spears and Tony Pollard are
the same player, but if they were

552
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.320
to kind of sprinkle some of those
little choice routes and some of the more

553
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:20.400
difficult stuff for running backs to run, or in the very least, like

554
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.840
you don't typically see running backs run. It's stuff that you run if you've

555
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:28.400
got a guy like Christian McCaffrey,
But what is your confidence level like in

556
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:31.079
Spears and Pollard as route runners,
if they wanted to sprinkle more of that

557
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:35.920
into the offense. And I had
a thread from a while ago that I

558
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:37.840
tweeted, it's on X somewhere.
I mean you might. All you have

559
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:44.599
to do is type in Kamara and
Spears. And I compared Spears to Alvin

560
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:49.039
Kamara and Christian McCaffrey, not talent
wise, but profile wise as a running

561
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:52.639
back and the type of running back
that they are. I saw him as

562
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:54.119
that type of running back, and
Pollard, of course, as that type

563
00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:58.079
of running back. And I can't
tell you what I'll do. I'll probably

564
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:02.440
need an extra set of pants if
I see if I see Brian Callahan motion

565
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.960
out Tony Pollard or Tase Spears out
there like Shanahan does McCaffrey ten yards behind

566
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:12.800
a line of scrimmage, Yeah,
I might, I might do something crazy

567
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.639
to my pants. I'm not gonna
lie to you. It's gonna excite me.

568
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.480
We gotta you and me both man. We got to stock up on

569
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.880
our pants before the season starts,
just in case. Yes, yes,

570
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:27.039
but if that's the type of innovation
that I want to see, and that's

571
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:30.320
the type you need those type of
profiles running backs to be able to have

572
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:35.679
that innovation now in this league.
And even a guy like Chig. You

573
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:37.760
talk about the forty nine Ers playbook, I know you go to the H

574
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:42.599
back and see all the motions with
the H back wherever the H backs lined

575
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:45.480
up in Kyle you sit, you
sick, you si yeah, or to

576
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:49.880
pronounce his name. But we have
that profile type guy in Chigakong Quo.

577
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:55.239
We do. So we are so
versatile from tight end between Chig, Pollard

578
00:36:55.280 --> 00:37:00.480
and Spears that we can really you
know, sky's the limit with the innovation

579
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:04.639
that Calahan has me has to be
salivating with that. That's That's what I'm

580
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:09.880
saying. Man, Like you watched
these interviews with Brian Callahan and he just

581
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:15.199
seems to light up about certain things. And we're talking about trailing Burks this

582
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:17.320
week. It's like every time somebody
brings up trailing Burks, he lights up.

583
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:20.760
But you just kind of ask him. He was on Busting with the

584
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:25.480
Boys and they were asking him about
a Super Bowl prediction kind of deal,

585
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:29.280
and he just kind of smiled,
played it a little koy, like,

586
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:34.119
you know, I can't guarantee anything, but you could tell from the look

587
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:37.800
in his eye from the smile when
he said, but I feel pretty good

588
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:39.840
about where we're at. Like this, this guy, I think he's pretty

589
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:44.480
stoked about the group that they have
on offense right now. But keeping that

590
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.519
trend going, it seems like we've
mentioned it a couple of times on the

591
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:53.039
show already. They weren't gonna check
every box this offseason, and it looks

592
00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:58.199
like the right side of the offensive
line is one of those spots where they're

593
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.800
content to just make do with what
they have have. JC Latham locked in

594
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:06.440
at left tackle, Peter Skeronsky locked
in a left guard and Lloyd Cushionberry locked

595
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.960
in at center. Like that's a
formidable group. Your your left tackle to

596
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:14.280
your center right there, but right
guard and right tackle kind of feel wide

597
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:17.679
open, like they're just gonna go
with the competition throughout the summer to see

598
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:22.679
who who who is the cream that
rises to the top. How do you

599
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.840
feel about that entering training camp?
Are you good with the bodies that they

600
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:29.800
have on the right side of the
line competing. Do you think it's a

601
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:34.400
situation where they are just gonna have
to make do or do you think there

602
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:37.840
are a guy or maybe two guys
out of this group that can really rise

603
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:44.000
up and fortify a complete offensive line. Yeah. I wouldn't say I'm,

604
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:45.719
you know, completely content with it, but we gotta be content with it

605
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:50.039
at this point, don't we.
You know what it is. It is

606
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.320
what it is at this point with
with who we have. But it's a

607
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:57.480
lot better this year than it was
last year competition wise for those spots,

608
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:02.400
you know. And I'm really high
on Dylan Rayden's he had a transformation coming

609
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:06.840
into this offseason. I mean,
the guy looks like a brick house you

610
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:09.480
know what I mean. So I
don't I don't know if he beefed up

611
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:15.039
with that with the mind of being
pushed into the interior, or if he

612
00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:16.519
was just you know, trying to
get in you know, sort of better

613
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:20.159
shape and be quicker. I don't
know, but I think Raidens has to

614
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.000
lock down one of those spots,
preferably right tackle, just because of the

615
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:27.800
market value, like sort of dollar
steal will get if Raidens solidifies that right

616
00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.719
tackle spot and we're able to resign
him. I mean you're talking that could

617
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.719
save us tens of millions of dollars
next offseason if he finds a way to

618
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.639
lock that spot up and guard too. So guards got paid this past year

619
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:40.920
too, So I say that,
but guard's got crazy money you know,

620
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:45.119
in the off season and free agency
as well. So if Dylan Raidens is

621
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:47.159
able to solidify one of those spots, because he looked really good to me

622
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:50.920
on tape towards the on the back
end of the season, you know,

623
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.440
the last five six games, and
he had to get over that ACL injury.

624
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:55.719
I mean, people forget he came
back early from it. He was

625
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:59.480
back in six seven months. Yeah, from that ACL injury. Yeah,

626
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:01.920
he wasn't pla, but he was
back on the practice field doing full contact

627
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:06.760
after you know, six seven months, and then he comes in this offseason.

628
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:08.760
The work ethic is not the problem
with Dylan Raidings. I think he's

629
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:13.400
been given a you know, an
unfair shake more than anything. He's been

630
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:15.960
moved from left tackle, left guard, right guard, you know, right

631
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:19.159
tackle. He's played all over,
which is good in a way to build

632
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:24.639
versatility, but it's also unfair on
a rookie and second third year guy trying

633
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:28.880
to get their feet wet in the
NFL coming from North Dakota State University.

634
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:32.280
Yeah, you know, so it's
it's tough, but he has the talent

635
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:37.239
and he has the athleticism to be
a guy and solidify one of those positions,

636
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:39.840
right guard, right tackle for me. And if he's moved to right

637
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:44.639
guard, Bron schools a good option
as an interior swing guy, and then

638
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:46.639
we got on the tackle spot,
it would I mean, I want to

639
00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:50.559
see Jalen Duncan and NPF fight out
for that. Yeah, you know,

640
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.400
that's that's who I want to say. I'm really high on Duncan because he

641
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:58.000
was highly touted, really athletic guy
coming out of Maryland last year. Would

642
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:00.360
love to see what he can do
at right tack. I'm happy to hear

643
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:05.079
you say that, because I haven't
really wavered in my love of Jalen Duncan.

644
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:07.679
I was really high on him coming
out of college. I thought he

645
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:13.119
was a really coachable kid that just
if he could put it together from the

646
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:17.039
neck up, had all the physical
tools that you looked for in an offensive

647
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:22.599
tackle. I still want to know
why he wasn't at the OTAs this week,

648
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:24.079
because I haven't seen anybody report on
it. I don't know if he's

649
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:29.440
dealing with an injury like a lot
of the guys or what. That kind

650
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:31.719
of was a red flag for me. I know NPF is dealing with an

651
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:36.320
injury. It kind of sounds like
it's gonna be those two guys. As

652
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:38.159
chef Ran points out, we can't
forget about le Roy Watson. They gave

653
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:42.880
up a seventh round pick for the
guys, right so, and he's obviously

654
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.840
somebody that Bill Callahan does have experience
with. I also, listen, this

655
00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:51.079
might be crazy. We're talking about
getting into the weeds of a roster.

656
00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:53.280
I don't think we should count out
John Ajuku yet either. I really liked

657
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:57.719
his pape. At Boise State,
he was a left tackle, made the

658
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.840
switch over to the right side.
He got some playing time in twenty twenty

659
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:05.119
three. You know, it was
like a lot of the rookie offensive linemen,

660
00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:09.440
the situation wasn't that good, and
I think it really expounded how bad

661
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:14.679
they looked. And they're also like
young guys just trying to develop too.

662
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:19.079
So I think they've got a stable
of these guys that have the talent,

663
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.400
the physical tools to do it.
It's just a matter of who's actually going

664
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:27.639
to win the job. NPF being
the one guy that does have experience at

665
00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:30.559
right tackle and you know, played
some decent football in his past. At

666
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:35.199
least it seems like that's what he
has going for him, and that's why

667
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:39.480
the fan base tends to kind of
gravitate towards him as the right tackle.

668
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:44.159
But I don't know, man,
I think that's gonna be a true competition

669
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:45.920
this summer. I don't think that's
all of these guys too. Yeah,

670
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:49.639
some of them are going to get
a meteoric rise under the coach and the

671
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:52.639
Bill Kallan. It's gonna be the
best offensive line coach they've ever had.

672
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:55.280
Yeah, some of these, especially
the young guys, are gonna, you

673
00:42:55.320 --> 00:43:00.119
know, get better exponentially. So
anything we've I think of a competition right

674
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:05.039
now could be completely different once Callahan
gets his hands on some of these guys

675
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:07.840
and they find a way to improve, like I mean, like the fellow

676
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:10.800
you just mentioned, and then Jalen
Duncan too. I mean, Lord knows

677
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:15.119
what what Bill Callahan can do with
Jalen Duncan. Yeah, and you know,

678
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:17.480
the the OTAs are voluntary. We
we know that, but they're really

679
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:22.079
not so yeah. Well, I
mean it's voluntary for guys like Jeff Simmons,

680
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.760
Harold Landry that have been around the
block a little bit. I would

681
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:29.679
not put Jalen Duncan in the category
of guys that should be out there skipping

682
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:32.840
OTAs just because he doesn't want to. And that's that's why I kind of

683
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.519
like I'm pressing the media, like
y'all get out there, somebody ask about

684
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:39.519
Jalen Duncan. I know it's not
gonna sell newspapers there, get clicks to

685
00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:43.760
your website. Some of us some
of us need to know, some of

686
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:47.519
us need you know. I got
a couple of exercises for you before we

687
00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:52.679
wrap up on today's show, Uh, sleeper watch. We're gonna do this

688
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:55.840
buy or sell style because I think
there are some names that we're hearing about

689
00:43:55.840 --> 00:44:01.679
at OTAs that Titans fans are are
kind of forgett. Let's start with defensive

690
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:06.760
lineman Sebastian Joseph Day. He.
Uh, you know, people are thinking

691
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:09.280
about the defensive line in terms of
Jeffrey Simmons and to and Andre Sweat.

692
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:14.000
But this is still an experienced player
in the NFL. He's played some good

693
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:19.559
football in meaningful games, and he
shows up for the voluntary OTAs hearing a

694
00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:22.480
couple of reports that he practiced pretty
well, looked pretty good out there.

695
00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:27.280
Uh, would be really awesome if
they could get a third guy in that

696
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:30.239
defensive line rotation that could be a
quality player when they're on the on the

697
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:36.760
field. Are you buying or selling
on Sebastian Joseph Day. I think we're

698
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:39.159
buying under the impression that, you
know, the stock isn't going to run

699
00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:42.840
to one hundred dollars a share.
Nothing, It's going to be you know,

700
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.480
it might be a penny stock,
but you know it has potential to

701
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:50.519
really rise. Yeah, and a
guy like that in the interior, especially

702
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:52.920
on third down if we're you know, and that's that's been my biggest gripe

703
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.840
with Sweat is you know, what
can he do on third down? But

704
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:59.159
we do have a good, you
know, a stop gap in the meantime

705
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.840
with Sebastian Joseph Day that can be
really good, especially in this system that

706
00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:07.000
I sort of foresee us having on
third downs with a lot of sim pressures

707
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:10.360
and a lot of movement. He
fits into that mold perfectly, especially if

708
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:14.519
a guy like Jeffer Simmons is taking
up double teams and you got Sebastian Joseph

709
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:17.519
Day stunting around the edge with Landry
or you know, just him and jeff

710
00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:22.679
Simmons stunting. He's a guy that's
perfect for that, and I really would

711
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:24.440
like to see what he does on
third down. We can't even run a

712
00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:30.039
heavy third down package with you know, a heavy pass RUSS package with Sweat,

713
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:34.360
Simmons, Joseph Day and Landry.
Now you know, it's sky is

714
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:36.960
the limit, you know, so
we can because you talk, just think

715
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:39.719
about the interior pressure you'll get with
Simmons in Sweat and then you have Day

716
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:44.599
and Landry. You know, whether
they're stunting or just going down the outside.

717
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:46.159
You know, we we've got a
lot of potential and a lot of

718
00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:51.280
versatility on that defensive line with the
addition of him, not to mention just

719
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:54.480
depth for sweat. So I'm really
I'm excited to see what he does,

720
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:58.559
especially with our scheme. I'm more
excited for the scheme than for him.

721
00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:00.639
But you know, I think he'll
fit really well with the scheme. They

722
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:06.800
added a big bodied, versatile offensive
lineman in Sadiq Charles that has experienced at

723
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:09.239
a couple of spots. You figure
he's going to be guard depth. And

724
00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:15.960
I know the media is not allowed
to talk about like the personnel groupings during

725
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:21.119
the OTAs, like who's playing where, But from what I've seen online,

726
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:24.800
from what I've heard, Charles is
a guy that we should probably put on

727
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:30.639
on our radar as a as a
real dark horse to win one of those

728
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:35.519
right right side of the line jobs. And I like how you did,

729
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:43.559
stony trying trying to say, trying
to say what I can say, but

730
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:47.480
I I do think that UH Titans
fans are kind of sleeping on the addition,

731
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:51.400
I think he's a versatile guy that
can can plug in in a couple

732
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:54.559
of different spots, and from the
way he's looked at OTAs from from what

733
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:58.800
I'm hearing, like he's he's a
guy that could be on the rise this

734
00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:04.239
summer as well. Are you iron
are selling on Sadik Charles? So in

735
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:07.840
that capacity that you say, I
definitely buy on Sadee Charles especially, he's

736
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:09.679
a guy that Callahan wonted in,
you know what I mean. So he's

737
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:14.480
seen what what Charles is capable of, and to a certain extent at LSU,

738
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:16.119
we've seen with what Charles is capable
of. He I mean, he

739
00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:21.000
played he played left tackle at LSU. So I really put a lot of

740
00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:23.440
stock into those guys that come from
those big time conferences that have you know,

741
00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:29.719
produced in those big time conferences.
So I think he'll do he'll do

742
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:31.199
well when give him the opportunity.
But as you said, I think he'll

743
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:35.519
just be a swing guy at most, you know what I mean. The

744
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:39.719
last guy I want to mention is
Josh Wiley. Went down pretty pretty early

745
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:45.280
in his rookie season with an injury, but I thought he flashed some pretty

746
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:49.119
good play. Kind of a jack
of ball trades tight end, but looks

747
00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:52.440
like a guy that could be a
piece in this offense, particularly like up

748
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:55.719
the scene. You again, I
hate to just you could tell I'm like

749
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:00.079
fan boying over the forty nine Ers
playbook, but like seeing some of those

750
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:05.280
routes that their tight ends run up
the scene. I'm just picturing Josh Wiley

751
00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:08.199
with Will Levis, you know,
throwing throwing stuff thirty yards down the field

752
00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:12.840
like touchdowns all day, baby.
But I kind of feel like the fan

753
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:16.280
base is sleeping on him as a
factor in the offense at the tight end

754
00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:22.119
spot. Sounds like he looked pretty
good uh this week as well? Are

755
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:25.840
you buying and selling Josh Wiley?
So I'll be honest, man, this

756
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:31.800
might sound a little crazy, but
going into the offseason I had Wiley a

757
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:37.320
little at least on par with Chigg
at the tight end spot, just through

758
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:39.920
where we're at as a pure tight
end for sure. You know Wiley.

759
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:44.360
Wiley is a guy, and Wiley
showed us a lot of promise last offseason,

760
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:47.000
especially in the past game with him
how good he is in the past

761
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:50.400
game. All he has to do
is be serviceable in the run game and

762
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:53.039
nobody's gonna say a thing, you
know. So, but you need a

763
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:57.320
guy like Josh Whally that can stretch
the stretch the middle of the field,

764
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.880
put pressure on the linebackers and safeties
right there to allow for those underneath routes

765
00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:06.880
to happen and occur underneath. So
definitely buying on a guy like Josh Wiley.

766
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:08.039
And I'm really excited to see what
he can do, man, because

767
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:13.159
I think he can. People might
be surprised by his snapshare that we see

768
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:16.719
this year, especially considering that Callahan
himself has said that we need to add

769
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:21.239
more tight ends. I don't think
he's talking about adding tight ends in the

770
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:25.559
archetype and profile at Chigakonko. He's
talking about adding adding tight ends in the

771
00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:29.760
manner of Wiley, because Wiley is
going to be somebody that will be relied

772
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:34.679
on and he has unfortunately history of
concussions. So I think, I mean,

773
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.480
what do you think about about Wiley
and his snapshot? I think it

774
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:40.239
could be incredibly high, more than
Chigg potentially. Oh dude, So we

775
00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:44.599
h we actually started cooking this up
on football and other f words on Wednesday.

776
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:46.480
I think Mike, Zach and I
are all on the same page.

777
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:50.920
Like we haven't. We haven't fully
fleshed out the idea just yet, but

778
00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:57.719
the little the nugget is there,
like Josh Josh Wiley probably tight end one

779
00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:00.039
for this team in twenty twenty.
Very well, I didn't want to say

780
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:05.360
it, but very out there.
Yeah, he very well could be man

781
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.199
because Jigs struggled last year, Let's
be honest. I mean he struggled with

782
00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:12.320
drops, he struggled with with some
other things. And at the end of

783
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:16.079
the day, if you scout tight
ends and you scout draft guys all the

784
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:19.760
time. I don't consider myself a
scout, but I look at guys and

785
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:22.639
I can put them in the in
the buckets. Jig a coon quo is

786
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:27.960
a gadget guy. He is,
and we don't have that luxury to have

787
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:30.719
right now. You know, current
state and last year especially, we did

788
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:35.360
not have the luxury to have a
gadget guy and to try and feed a

789
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:37.880
gadget guy. We just didn't.
So until we have that luck, we

790
00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:42.480
earned that right to have a gadget
guy as an offense. Chig is an

791
00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:45.679
afterthought to me for the meantime.
No, but he he can be great.

792
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:49.000
Yeah, I'm with you. We're
on the same page. There so

793
00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:52.960
similar similar options here. We're gonna
do buy or sell, but we're gonna

794
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:58.159
flip the qualifier here fresh start stock
watch. So these are guys that are

795
00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:02.800
getting a fresh start under a new
regime, that still have some talent that

796
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:07.320
that we'll we'll see where they go
if if they benefit from this change in

797
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:10.639
leadership. Let's start with the easy
one, because we've already talked about him,

798
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:15.440
Dylan Raidin's. I think he'll do
really well. You know, he

799
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:19.119
was doing really well last year with
the catastrophe of an offensive line coach and

800
00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:22.159
staff we had last year. I
mean that that offensive line coach last year

801
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:24.559
came from a high school, didn't
he. I mean I did some research.

802
00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:28.400
I don't know, and I'm pretty
sure he did. I'm pretty sure

803
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:30.679
he did. He did come from
a high school. He was a head

804
00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:32.880
coach somewhere. But he might have
had in Chili's for all I know.

805
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:37.239
Who knows the way, Yeah,
who knows. And he didn't bring no

806
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:39.159
discounts or nothing, So you know, that's a problem. If he's gonna

807
00:51:39.159 --> 00:51:43.840
come from Chili's, bring a damn
discounts, some gift cards something. But

808
00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:45.599
yeah, you know, ratings,
man, I think he's going to be

809
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:50.639
a really good asset. Not only
do I want him to be a good

810
00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:52.719
asset, I think he can be
a good asset, and I see that

811
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:57.320
he can be a good asset on
either spot, right guard, right tackle,

812
00:51:57.400 --> 00:51:59.199
and at the end of the day, even if he doesn't win one

813
00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:01.119
of those jobs, one of the
better swing tackles that we that we could

814
00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:06.679
have, but I definitely see him
winning that I want. My heart says,

815
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:07.960
I want him to win the right
tackle job. But it really doesn't

816
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:10.960
matter because of the way guards and
tackles are being paid now. Guards,

817
00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:15.960
I mean guards got paid this past
offseason, so we're able to steal money

818
00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:22.000
essentially if Ravens turns out to be
a guy that we're able to repay or

819
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.000
not repay, but we're able to
pay at right guard or right tackle.

820
00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:28.719
Yeah, that's you want to talk
about icing on the cake with with Dylan

821
00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:30.480
Gis. If he pans out,
that would be Uh, then look at

822
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:34.480
the look at the offensive line after
if he pans out, Yeah, then

823
00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:37.119
we only have one hole, you
know what I mean? Yeah, for

824
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:39.360
the next three or four years.
So, uh, do you think there's

825
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:46.360
any juice left to squeeze from Caleb
Farley h Unfortunately, though, I don't.

826
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:50.559
I don't see anything with him.
He's a guy that I see as

827
00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:53.119
a candidate that could be possibly moved
to safety. I mean yeah, because

828
00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:58.079
he you know, he's he's lost
a little bit of his his You talk

829
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:00.239
about squeeze and juice, he's lost
a little litle bit of his juice coming

830
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:04.800
out of Virginia Virginia Tech with you
know, athletic wise, he has to

831
00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:07.960
have from what you know, it
just naturally he's had to have. He

832
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:12.280
hasn't really been in the mix in
the last couple of years, but he

833
00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:15.239
has the length and he has the
size to be a serviceable safety, more

834
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:20.599
so than Molden in my opinion.
Okay, so you know, I like

835
00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:22.760
molding but Molden and Hooker are in
the same group with me. They just

836
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:27.159
don't cover enough ground for me as
a safety. They just don't. And

837
00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:29.320
if you're going to be a hybrid
safety, you've got it. In this

838
00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:30.880
day and age, you don't have
to be a you know, cover as

839
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:34.679
much ground as a free safety,
but you've got to be able to cover

840
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:37.159
ground as a safety in this league, and Molden and Hooker do not.

841
00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:40.199
Farley can. So I you know, that's something. I don't think he

842
00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:44.360
can pan out at corner. I
don't see a path or avenue for him

843
00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:47.599
to play corner for this football team
at a decent rate. But I do

844
00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:52.360
see a path to where we could
potentially work on moving him to safety and

845
00:53:52.440 --> 00:53:53.480
see what he does this year.
I mean, I don't know, just

846
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:58.280
to get something out of him.
Yeah, And I feel like Farley,

847
00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:02.239
man. I try not to make
excuses for players as much as I can,

848
00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:07.039
but at the same time, Farley
feels like a guy that the deck

849
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:09.719
was stacked against him from the jump. I mean, a guy that,

850
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:15.159
even at Virginia Tech had just moved
to corner, like was still learning the

851
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:20.599
position and had an injury history to
begin with. He's drafted in the first

852
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:25.119
round, so drafting, being drafted
in the first round comes with those expectations.

853
00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:31.360
And then he can't stay healthy and
you know, kind of struggles struggles

854
00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:37.559
seemed to struggle to learn the defense
under Shane Bowen, and we know how

855
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:42.400
Vrabel operated. It was like,
if you can't do your job, you

856
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:46.639
know you're not gonna play. And
if you got in Mike Rabel's doghouse,

857
00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:51.519
man, you might as well buy
a home there. Buy some land set

858
00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:55.719
up shop, you wouldn't get no
food or water. No. I kind

859
00:54:55.719 --> 00:55:01.000
of felt like the deck has been
stacked against Farley and it just feels like

860
00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:04.760
it's one thing after another with him, and you hate to see it for

861
00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:08.199
a guy that all of my media
friends that talk to the guy say like

862
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:13.159
he is one of the nicest dudes
in that locker room. And I think

863
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:16.880
when you look at the traits,
he's still probably one of the fifty three

864
00:55:16.920 --> 00:55:22.840
best athletes on this roster. Just
from a pure athletic standpoint, I think

865
00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:27.519
he probably is still a really good
athlete, and you hope that if there's

866
00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:30.840
any shot of him making it,
it is in this coaching staff saying hey,

867
00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:36.079
we know how to harness that athleticism
to get this guy on the field,

868
00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:38.679
whether it's just special teams or like
you said, I think there is

869
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:43.039
a path forward for him moving to
safety. They have a need there.

870
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:45.760
Why wouldn't you want to look at
one of your best athletes at the spot

871
00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:52.000
back there where you need see what
happens the versatility. Yeah, I think

872
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:55.320
there's a shot, but so far
from what we've seen, I don't think

873
00:55:55.360 --> 00:56:00.280
there's any production to warrant buying on
KB Farley right now. I think I

874
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:05.360
would still be selling with the idea
that it's house money. If you can

875
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:08.079
find a spot for him on this
team, it would definitely sell with him.

876
00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:13.159
And you know, one thing we
talk about the impact Bill Callahan has

877
00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:16.119
all offensive linemen, and yeah,
I'm not trying to be visietious. I'm

878
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:20.480
not trying to be funny, but
I'm just being honest. The new strength

879
00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:22.800
and conditioning team can have a similar
type impact on Caleb Farley for sure.

880
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:27.119
Let's let's be honest. You know, that can do him a lot of

881
00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:30.639
good. And just a different style
of rehab, a different style of maintenance,

882
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:35.960
a different style of just taking care
of your body could do him really

883
00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:38.280
good and we might be able to
see that what could be the best of

884
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:42.239
what Caleb Farley has left. You
know, he only has one year left.

885
00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:44.960
He's not gonna Yeah, you know, it's it's house money. Like

886
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:50.119
you said, Yeah, a guy
that has been kind of polarizing in the

887
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:53.000
in the past, it seems like
one of those guys you either love him

888
00:56:53.079 --> 00:56:57.480
or you hate him. Kind of
kind of feels to me like Kyle Phillips

889
00:56:57.559 --> 00:57:00.280
is on thin ice right now with
the way they they added Tyler Boyd,

890
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:06.519
they drafted Jakwan Jackson. Kyle Phillips
is a guy that has struggled with an

891
00:57:06.519 --> 00:57:13.079
injury history. Has flashed really good
slot receiver potential at times, but didn't

892
00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:15.880
really put it together under Mike Rabel. There times that I kind of felt

893
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:17.719
like he might have been one of
those guys that was in Mike Rabel's doghouse

894
00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:22.440
too because he couldn't stay healthy or
something that he's in mind too. Yeah,

895
00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:28.320
glass Man, glass Man, Yeah, fair enough. But with a

896
00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:31.320
change in regime, do you think
there's a spot for Kyle Phillips to flourish

897
00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:36.679
or do you think he's just one
of the victims of the sheer volume that

898
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.679
they have at wide receiver right now. I think he's a victim of that,

899
00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:45.159
but also I think he's a you
know, he's a victim of injuries

900
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:49.000
too. He's He's I'm completely selling
on this guy. I mean, this

901
00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:52.719
is this is like a you know, the Wolf of Wall Street. We're

902
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:54.360
talking buying and selling the Wolf of
Wallstroom and you get the penny stocks and

903
00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:59.039
you feel like he got ripped off. That's that's how I feel with Kyle

904
00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:01.320
Phillips as much hype as he got
in the offseason as a rookie, as

905
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:06.159
much hype as he got an off
season last year. And the hype comes

906
00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:09.440
from Ladder and Kone Drails. Yeah, like, I mean, come on

907
00:58:09.519 --> 00:58:14.679
now. And he did the one
Giant the Giants game. He did well

908
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:16.480
in the Giants game, but that
doesn't warrant the hype that he has,

909
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:20.079
and that's worked against him a little
bit in a lot of people's eyes,

910
00:58:20.159 --> 00:58:22.320
not just myself. Yeah, you
know, but he's he's not. I

911
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:25.440
don't he's he has He'll be lucky
to make the roster in my opinion.

912
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:30.480
He doesn't offer anything outside of the
slot receiver spot, and he doesn't offer

913
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:35.119
anything on special teams. So yeah, I I I kind of feel like

914
00:58:35.400 --> 00:58:38.199
it's all the writings already on the
wall for him. I kind of feel

915
00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:42.960
like the ship has sailed. And
I know there are people that are saying,

916
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:45.239
well, he's absolutely one of the
six best wide receivers on this roster,

917
00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:49.880
but I just I just don't know, Like the sample size that you

918
00:58:49.960 --> 00:58:53.079
have to base that off of is
so small. I'm not comfortable making that

919
00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:57.679
same assessment. I'm not I'm not
going there with with Kyle Phillips, I

920
00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:00.960
kind of feel like I kind of
feel like he's I don't think he's gonna

921
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:04.719
make this roster if I had to
get I don't think he will neither.

922
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:07.880
And I'm still struggling to understand why
people think he's one of the best six

923
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:10.440
receivers on this roster. Yeah,
where do they get that from? I

924
00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:14.920
don't know the Giants game? That
doesn't that's what? What is that?

925
00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:17.360
It's the New York Giants. I
think I think you're right, though.

926
00:59:17.400 --> 00:59:21.639
I think there's a lot of you
know, even going back to like the

927
00:59:21.719 --> 00:59:24.159
U c l A tape, like
oh, it's really juky, clean cut,

928
00:59:24.239 --> 00:59:30.320
good route running slot receiver and the
Titans need it and they don't have

929
00:59:30.400 --> 00:59:35.159
it. And all this projection based
off of what he could be and not

930
00:59:35.639 --> 00:59:37.440
what he is after I mean,
he's been in the league for a couple

931
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:40.400
of seasons now, like we kind
of know and he kind of know what.

932
00:59:40.599 --> 00:59:45.280
He hasn't added any size or anything
like that. That's what That's really

933
00:59:45.280 --> 00:59:49.840
what I It's not his performance.
It's not him as a person. Yeah,

934
00:59:49.880 --> 00:59:52.679
it's not even really it's never And
to be honest and to be completely

935
00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:57.039
candidate. It's never about the players
as a person when I when I evaluate

936
00:59:57.079 --> 01:00:00.840
these guys, it's never that.
Yeah, but him his work ethic and

937
01:00:01.039 --> 01:00:07.960
seeing that he has his body type
is not conducive to the NFL. And

938
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:10.719
then you're also getting injured, So
where is your change and trying to change

939
01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:15.360
as an athlete to try and better
yourself in that manner. You know,

940
01:00:15.400 --> 01:00:20.079
we we see body type changes or
during the off season from players of all

941
01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:22.840
positions. We see it from Raidings, you know, we saw it from

942
01:00:23.079 --> 01:00:27.960
well, I can't say we saw
it from Treylon Burke's, but you know,

943
01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:30.159
you you see it with players.
We see it. We saw it

944
01:00:30.159 --> 01:00:35.440
with Derek Henry every season. You
know, you see the work. I'm

945
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:37.880
not saying he didn't put in the
work, but I'm not seeing the work.

946
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:40.599
I'm not seeing the the preventive stuff
with the with the injuries because he's

947
01:00:40.599 --> 01:00:44.760
always injured. So I'm not seeing
any fruit of that. I'm not seeing.

948
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:52.239
That's a good comment from Jake there, but that one break through Stingley

949
01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:55.599
to the ground four years ago in
college, uh huh. And I'm just

950
01:00:55.639 --> 01:01:00.840
not seeing the the fruit of his
work. To to put it plainly,

951
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:04.599
with Kyle Phillips, and you know
that's that's important to me. Same thing

952
01:01:04.599 --> 01:01:07.679
with Traylon Burton. If you got
Traylon Burson here, it'll be the same

953
01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:09.039
thing. With him. I'm not
seeing the fruit of the work. And

954
01:01:09.119 --> 01:01:14.639
with trailing Burt' it's something I don't
really even see the work. You know

955
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:17.159
it's but we'll see. That's a
whole different, whole different conversation. Well,

956
01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:20.800
let's let's go into it, because
Traylon Burks is the last guy that

957
01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:24.719
I wanted to ask you about.
Awesome we mentioned earlier. Brian Callahan's face

958
01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:29.519
seems to light up every time that
somebody mentions Traylon Burks, and he seems

959
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:32.079
kind of excited to get to work
with the guy. You talk about the

960
01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:39.440
lofty expectations with Caleb Farley Man,
multiply that by a million for Traylon Burks

961
01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:45.159
after the aj Brown trade, expectations
that he was never going to live up

962
01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:49.519
to, in my opinion, and
a tough spot for him to be in.

963
01:01:49.559 --> 01:01:53.599
He's also struggled with injuries. He's
he's a guy that you know,

964
01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:58.239
I have it on pretty good authority, was probably in Mike Rabel's doghouse as

965
01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:01.800
well, and it was kind of
there was kind of his fault kind of

966
01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:07.440
it's about like you give him,
you give him the spotlight in a big

967
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:14.039
moment and he drops the ball and
fair foul. Just wasn't given chances or

968
01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:19.599
opportunities after that. But it sounds
like maybe turning over a new leaf under

969
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:23.480
Brian Callahan. What do you think
the ceiling is for Trayling Burks in twenty

970
01:02:23.519 --> 01:02:28.920
twenty four? I receiver three.
That's what I think the ceiling is.

971
01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:32.320
And you know, I don't.
I think he sees twenty percent of the

972
01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:37.039
snaps of game maybe at the most. That's what I'm thinking, maybe maybe

973
01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:40.800
twenty five. I'm not really I'm
not high on trailing burtson. This is

974
01:02:40.920 --> 01:02:45.159
fault of his own. I mean, let's be honest. It's it to

975
01:02:45.239 --> 01:02:49.920
me from what I have on authority
too with them, things in the offseason

976
01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:52.400
that have occurred that you know,
weren't reported and stuff like that. The

977
01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:55.880
guy is not really you might have
heard. I mean it's Nashville is a

978
01:02:55.880 --> 01:03:01.159
small city. He's not really.
I can't say we know. I can't

979
01:03:01.159 --> 01:03:04.960
say we know. I'm trying to
watch my words here. We got a

980
01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:09.119
football sometimes we do we do?
We do, but football, I don't

981
01:03:09.159 --> 01:03:14.239
know if it was his number one
passion as a receiver as much as Rabel

982
01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:15.719
wanted, you know what I mean. And then there was a couple of

983
01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:20.880
other things that he wasn't living up
to the expectation with Rabel off the field

984
01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:23.519
and other manners as well. So
that's that'll be what I what I put

985
01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:28.519
it as. But you know,
he he does that stuff, and Rabel's

986
01:03:28.559 --> 01:03:30.480
probably like, Okay, you're in
the doghouse, but I'm gonna give you

987
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:32.800
an opportunity. You're number one.
I have to give you an opportunity,

988
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:37.119
and then you squander it there,
you know. So that's the double whammy

989
01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:40.719
against Rabel, and you know he's
out of there, but he sort of

990
01:03:40.760 --> 01:03:44.480
gets a new leaf here with this
new coaching staff. He's lucky. He's

991
01:03:44.519 --> 01:03:47.360
a lucky guy. Trailing Burch is
gets a new leaf with the coaching staff,

992
01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:52.079
new receiving coach, new head coach. You know, we still got

993
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:53.760
Carton, so he still has a
new leave with Carthon because that's not one

994
01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:57.880
of Carton's guys. That's the j
Rob guy. But it's all about what

995
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:00.239
Trailing Burch does. You know why
to me, see, why is it

996
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:04.039
this offseason that he starts to get
help from veteran receivers, you know,

997
01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:08.880
with training with DeAndre Hopkins, training
with a guy like Ridley, Why did

998
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:12.079
it start this offseason? Why didn't
it start last offseason? He was healthy

999
01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:14.760
going in the last offseason, wasn't
he I'm not mistaken he was. He

1000
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:17.159
was. Why didn't that start last
offseason? That's my question with him?

1001
01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:24.840
And I don't know, Yeah,
we just don't know. It's decision making.

1002
01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:27.599
And I'm not saying he wasn't doing
the work, but it's decision making

1003
01:04:27.599 --> 01:04:30.920
of how you're doing it. Now. You're putting into work with veteran guys,

1004
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:33.280
Hall of Fame guys that have done
it and continue to do it.

1005
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:35.840
And look at the fruit that you're
already I mean, he won an off

1006
01:04:35.880 --> 01:04:40.800
Season Award last year, but look
at the fruit you're already getting with the

1007
01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:45.719
coaching staff from working with a guy
the caliber of DeAndre Hopkins, a veteran

1008
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:47.280
that'll tell you the way and show
you the way. Look at the guys

1009
01:04:47.280 --> 01:04:53.280
that DeAndre Hopkins has worked with and
you know under in his career, Larry

1010
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:57.880
Fitzgier, Andre Johnson, two of
the best model pros that you could have

1011
01:04:57.960 --> 01:05:00.760
from a receiver spot, you know
what I mean. So the knowledge is

1012
01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:05.000
there, I just don't know if
it's being seeked until now. I would

1013
01:05:05.079 --> 01:05:12.400
be really really curious, really interested
to hear both party's opinion on the relationship.

1014
01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:15.880
I would really be curious to hear
what Mike Rabel and Tim Kelly thought

1015
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:19.599
of Traylon Burkes. And I would
be really curious to know what Traylan Burke's

1016
01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:25.719
felt about the previous regime, because
you know, there's nobody's going to publicly

1017
01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:30.960
bash one another or anything like that. But I have felt like the way

1018
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:40.719
that Burke's was utilized was kind of
I I think the actions, the behavior

1019
01:05:40.760 --> 01:05:45.079
speaks more than the words, and
the way that they used Burke's last season

1020
01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:47.760
it kind of just made me feel
like that I think there's something there.

1021
01:05:48.239 --> 01:05:53.559
I think there's some kind of friction
between the two, and you know,

1022
01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:57.480
I don't know that for sure.
That is me just recklessly speculating in front

1023
01:05:57.519 --> 01:06:00.000
of a microphone. For however many
people are going to listen to this episode.

1024
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:02.840
We're not the first or the last. Yeah, to be fair,

1025
01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:06.559
we're not the first or the last. But I do think it's interesting to

1026
01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:11.199
see, like you pointed out,
all of a sudden, like getting in

1027
01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:17.639
the work and hearing Brian Callahan talk
about how he's can, he's athletic,

1028
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:21.400
he's big, he can do multiple
things. DeAndre Hopkins is defending him in

1029
01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:26.360
press conferences talking about he's one of
the most athletic guys he's he's played with.

1030
01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:30.679
I kind of I do kind of
feel like there has been new life

1031
01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:36.119
breathed into Burks' career, but I
kind of see him as more of like

1032
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:41.920
the gadgety wide receiver for as like
where he probably best fits into this offense

1033
01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:47.000
guy that you can use in motion
and to run like some of the decoy

1034
01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:50.880
routes and stuff like that. And
I think if you can develop him into

1035
01:06:50.920 --> 01:06:56.760
a playmaker without the pressure of being
aj Brown, I think maybe you got

1036
01:06:56.800 --> 01:07:00.360
a little bit of house money with
him too. And the thing with the

1037
01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:02.960
thing with him too is we have
to take an account. It's the same

1038
01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:06.679
grace so we gave to and Andre
Sweat for being young, trailing Burch was

1039
01:07:06.719 --> 01:07:10.760
young as well when he got the
very first strike. We did we didn't

1040
01:07:10.760 --> 01:07:14.360
we talked about the two latest strikes, but the first strike with trailer Burch

1041
01:07:14.400 --> 01:07:19.360
was coming into camp rookie camp out
of shape. Yeah, and so but

1042
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:25.840
again, like I, I don't
know it, it's just where the where

1043
01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:29.840
to go? Yeah, it's away
now. Yeah. I mean listen,

1044
01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:31.480
I had as a kid. I
had asthma as a kid, and the

1045
01:07:31.480 --> 01:07:35.559
doctor told me if I got in
better shape that it would likely go away

1046
01:07:35.599 --> 01:07:39.519
at some point, and it did. But you're talking about like over the

1047
01:07:39.519 --> 01:07:43.119
course of five years, not one
off season. So I'm right, I'm

1048
01:07:43.159 --> 01:07:48.079
big natural. I'm also not a
not an NFL athlete either, so big

1049
01:07:48.159 --> 01:07:50.639
natural though. Man, Well,
you know I do I do try,

1050
01:07:50.800 --> 01:07:55.320
I do try. Yeah, but
you know that's the we talk about the

1051
01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:59.320
strikes with him, and he's had
plenty of strikes and with this time with

1052
01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:02.360
Rabel, and you know, Rabel
was his own guy. But I could

1053
01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:06.760
side with Rabel on this particular point
with him, you know, from and

1054
01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:11.119
of course we're not all gonna we're
not all gonna know the ins and out.

1055
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:13.960
So what happened, But like I
said, Nashville is a small city,

1056
01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:18.039
and you know, things things happen. Yeah, Well that's it on

1057
01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:21.359
the Fresh Start stock watch. Last
question, I want to ask if you

1058
01:08:21.399 --> 01:08:25.199
think there are any people on this
roster is my cat, get down,

1059
01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:28.800
Get down down. My cat's just
decided, Like, all right, you

1060
01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:30.319
guys have been talking for an hour. It's time I need to be fair.

1061
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:34.560
You guys are talking about run game
and and why are there any guys

1062
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:39.680
on this roster that we haven't talked
about or like sleeper candidates that you don't

1063
01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:45.359
feel like Titans Twitter is talking about
enough that you think could really surprise and

1064
01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:49.359
steal a roster spot this summer.
Yeah, one guy that And I've got

1065
01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:54.000
really one guy in mind right here. And he's he's performed when he's winning

1066
01:08:54.079 --> 01:08:56.960
games. He played a little bit
last year and from Eastern Kentucky t K

1067
01:08:57.039 --> 01:09:00.600
McClinton, okay, defense of lineman, I think he'll do really well.

1068
01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:01.920
I see a lot of potential with
him. I mean, he's a small

1069
01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:06.920
school guy, but he's really got
the talent from what I've seen stepping in

1070
01:09:06.920 --> 01:09:11.159
as a rookie and performan I could
see him really doing well, especially with

1071
01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:14.680
a new new coaching staff, you
know, new lease on life, a

1072
01:09:14.720 --> 01:09:16.520
new opportunity for him. It's sort
of a frush slate for him. They

1073
01:09:16.520 --> 01:09:18.479
see his tape from last year and
they saw that, you know, he

1074
01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:21.359
did pretty well. That's the guy
I see that could change, that could

1075
01:09:21.399 --> 01:09:27.119
really steal a spot on that defensive
line because there's open spots on the defensive

1076
01:09:27.119 --> 01:09:29.159
line. Let's be honest, And
I think T k mpenny could be one

1077
01:09:29.199 --> 01:09:31.319
of those guys. I really like
t K Mclinton. Yeah, I'm with

1078
01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:34.840
you. He's he's flashed at times
as well. I'm I'm going pretty deep

1079
01:09:34.840 --> 01:09:39.520
into the undrafted free agent well for
this one, I'm I'm going with Gabe

1080
01:09:39.560 --> 01:09:43.840
Judy Lawley, and I think he's
he's kind of a dog. He plays

1081
01:09:43.880 --> 01:09:46.880
hard. It's what Denard Wilson's looking
for in a defensive back. I don't

1082
01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:49.840
think you play him at corner though. I mean, you watched some of

1083
01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:54.600
his tape in like one on one
situations, was was kind of kind of

1084
01:09:54.680 --> 01:09:58.039
rough. But I'm I'm thinking,
like, they need bodies at safety,

1085
01:09:58.119 --> 01:10:00.840
right, they need they do they
I've got a question mark there that they

1086
01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:05.319
need to get creative in solving.
Unless you know, I do still expect

1087
01:10:05.359 --> 01:10:10.800
him to sign a Marcus may or
something like somebody like that. But I

1088
01:10:10.840 --> 01:10:15.439
think gave Judy Lawley is a guy
that could make the transition to safety plays

1089
01:10:15.479 --> 01:10:18.199
really hard, kind of plays like
a safety if you watch his tape already,

1090
01:10:18.439 --> 01:10:24.840
and I think he's somebody that in
that room can probably find a home,

1091
01:10:25.439 --> 01:10:28.479
and they just they need bodies,
They need to they need to tinker

1092
01:10:28.520 --> 01:10:30.479
around with that safety spot to find
an option. So I'm going with with

1093
01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:35.840
Juty Lawley. Chef Ran chimes in
and says James Williams on special teams should

1094
01:10:35.920 --> 01:10:41.760
be nice. And then our guy, Jake, Dylan Johnson from the Rooftops.

1095
01:10:41.760 --> 01:10:44.680
I'm a big Dylan Johnson fan man. I've I've been watching some of

1096
01:10:44.720 --> 01:10:47.960
his tape to put together for next
Friday's film Friday on Stacking the Inbox,

1097
01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:51.880
and I don't know how he slipped
through the cracks of the draft. I

1098
01:10:51.880 --> 01:10:57.880
mean, I really think it was
just like straight line speed m questions and

1099
01:10:58.479 --> 01:11:03.079
maybe injury concerns the foot deal that
was going on. But he's a he's

1100
01:11:03.119 --> 01:11:08.000
a good he's a good option as
an as an undrafted free agent to add

1101
01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:11.520
to your running back room. Jake
also mentions Khalid Duke. I haven't watched

1102
01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:14.000
any of him yet. Ed Rusher
out of Kansas State. I know he's

1103
01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:17.560
got some inside linebacker in his past
too, I think in twenty twenty two.

1104
01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:23.159
So kind of a versatile piece there
that Zach has brought up before,

1105
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:26.640
like, hey, this might you
know, they're looking for options at linebacker

1106
01:11:26.640 --> 01:11:30.600
two, might be an interesting,
interesting transition there. So that's all I

1107
01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:31.880
got for you. You worried about
the green dot, real quick, Stony,

1108
01:11:32.039 --> 01:11:34.560
the green dot. Let's talk about
the green dot for thirty more real

1109
01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:39.920
quick. It's one of those things
like, look, I kind of felt

1110
01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:43.760
like, Okay, we got to
figure out who is going to wear the

1111
01:11:43.760 --> 01:11:46.439
green dot, who is going to
be that guy? But then we're still

1112
01:11:46.479 --> 01:11:50.479
talking about it three months later,
and I'm like, man, I don't

1113
01:11:50.520 --> 01:11:53.960
he was blown out of proportion a
little bit. Well, I think,

1114
01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:56.399
you know, like at a certain
point, like we kind of know who

1115
01:11:56.399 --> 01:12:00.359
the options are and we can kind
of discern who is probably the best option.

1116
01:12:00.479 --> 01:12:03.199
But you know, it's like there's
a we're talking about the blocking sleds

1117
01:12:03.239 --> 01:12:06.079
too, man. Sometimes like we
get hung up on these things and we're

1118
01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:11.560
just gonna we're just gonna talk about
it. Blood and Olga and Bertha.

1119
01:12:11.760 --> 01:12:15.520
Yeah, Olga Bertha. I've heard
too much about Oga and Bertha. Yeah,

1120
01:12:15.600 --> 01:12:17.800
so me some clips of Calvin Ridley
running rounts. I need to see

1121
01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:19.920
that, so I gonna argue with
Jags fans, But no, I don't.

1122
01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:26.399
I don't think I I honestly still
at this point, really don't know

1123
01:12:26.439 --> 01:12:28.840
who's going to wear the green dot. I mean, I think it could

1124
01:12:28.880 --> 01:12:32.000
be a money hooker. He's been
asked about it. I ideally I would

1125
01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:34.359
say, like, just go ahead
and give it to Cedric Gray and just

1126
01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:36.840
put him out there, and just
like, don't waste time. If the

1127
01:12:36.920 --> 01:12:43.119
vision is for him to be you're
you're starting inside linebacker, then then go

1128
01:12:43.119 --> 01:12:45.439
ahead and put him out there.
Just throw him to the wolves and see

1129
01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:46.439
if he sinks or swim. I
don't know if that's going to be the

1130
01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:51.800
case or not. But do you
care about it? I in the sense

1131
01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:55.720
of stock you put into it.
I think you got to have a good

1132
01:12:55.760 --> 01:13:01.600
communicator in that spot. And I
think it's something that if you've got if

1133
01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:05.079
you've got somebody bad out there,
I think it can it can blow up

1134
01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:09.000
in your face. And I feel
like there were issues with that in twenty

1135
01:13:09.039 --> 01:13:12.479
twenty when Kevin Biden. I don't
remember who wore the green dot in twenty

1136
01:13:12.479 --> 01:13:17.039
twenty. I think I don't I
don't remember, but I remember it was.

1137
01:13:17.079 --> 01:13:20.439
I can see how that'd be a
problem every every week. Kevin Byard

1138
01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:24.720
was like, we got to communicate
better. We're not communicating. There's communication

1139
01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:29.760
issues. Kevin Byard is probably still
in a press conference somewhere talking about communication

1140
01:13:29.880 --> 01:13:32.079
issues. And so I think it's
same week one. Yeah, I think

1141
01:13:32.119 --> 01:13:34.960
it's situations like that, like,
yeah, you got to have a capable

1142
01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:39.800
guy wearing the green dot. But
I think there are a lot of folks

1143
01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:45.760
out there this offseason that have conflated
wearing the green dot to mean like good

1144
01:13:45.960 --> 01:13:51.640
rangy inside linebacker, And I just
don't think that's the case. Just regurgitating

1145
01:13:51.640 --> 01:13:55.479
the play call and in the play
call is gonna be simple. Fires on

1146
01:13:55.600 --> 01:13:59.920
three, Okay, come on there, we go figure it out. We're

1147
01:14:00.279 --> 01:14:03.279
we're educating people this morning. Be
will let's stop asking about the green dots.

1148
01:14:03.840 --> 01:14:08.119
Stop asking about the green dot it
will be Okay, let's let's talk

1149
01:14:08.119 --> 01:14:12.479
about run fits. That's what we
need to be worried about. Scraping and

1150
01:14:12.479 --> 01:14:15.079
that's what we need to be worried. Abouh chef Ran points out too,

1151
01:14:15.760 --> 01:14:17.439
that was the year. Was that
the year that they didn't have an official

1152
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:21.760
defensive coordinator. I think it might
have been. Yeah, what kind of

1153
01:14:21.800 --> 01:14:25.800
show was that? Looking back on
it, dude, that they wasted?

1154
01:14:26.079 --> 01:14:30.399
Like the best Titans offense I've ever
seen was that twenty twenty Titans offense.

1155
01:14:30.439 --> 01:14:32.920
They were scoring like thirty six points
a game or something like that, and

1156
01:14:32.960 --> 01:14:39.920
they just were total hot mess on
defense. Like couldn't they were scoring thirty

1157
01:14:39.920 --> 01:14:43.239
six and allowing thirty eight per game
or something like that. It was it

1158
01:14:43.279 --> 01:14:45.960
was five. Yeah, that's that's
being a Titans fan. That's why we

1159
01:14:46.039 --> 01:14:50.520
love them, right yeah, I
mean yeah, god man man, all

1160
01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:54.399
right, Well that's gonna do it
for us. B Will, Why don't

1161
01:14:54.439 --> 01:14:57.920

learn and teach football on Twitter.
You know, it's there's a lot of

1167
01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:17.880
there's a lot of good people on
Twitter, a lot of good resources,

1168
01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:21.039
and I try to just put my
two cents in where where it's you know,

1169
01:15:21.119 --> 01:15:25.439
sometimes deserved and sometimes it isn't deserved, I hear. But you can

there's gonna be a new design coming out

1185
01:16:23.359 --> 01:16:27.159
soon. I gotta I gotta do
something. Man, those Roll the Dice

1186
01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:30.159
Play the Board shirts. I sold
like four of them. Jake was one

1187
01:16:30.199 --> 01:16:31.640
of them. So shout out to
Jake. I appreciate that. Man.

1188
01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:35.760
I thought that was a bomb ass
design and all it did was bomb so

1189
01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:39.920
I guess I was technically kind of
right on it, and I gotta do

1190
01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:43.039
something. You gotta do something.
You'll have to let me show it to

1191
01:16:43.079 --> 01:16:45.279
me afterwards. I'll get one.
I like that Roll the Dice Played the

1192
01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:48.079
Board. I said it on the
show yesterday just randomly. I don't know

1193
01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:49.880
why I said it, but I
was like, man, I thought it

1194
01:16:49.920 --> 01:16:54.560
was a great shirt. It made
the rounds on social media. Everybody was

1195
01:16:54.600 --> 01:16:58.079
like, damn, this is awesome
and retweeting it and quote tweeting it and

1196
01:16:58.119 --> 01:17:02.239
sharing it, and then nobody I
saw. I sold like three of those

1197
01:17:02.279 --> 01:17:06.079
things when when it first went live, and then a year later Jake fought

1198
01:17:06.079 --> 01:17:09.239
one and I got the order and
I was like, damn, Jake's a

1199
01:17:09.239 --> 01:17:13.199
real one helping me out here.
Actually, because of Jake's order, I

1200
01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:15.479
made my money back on the screen
that it took to make the design,

1201
01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:18.359
So shout out Jake. Jake's a
real one. I always appreciate that.

1202
01:17:18.439 --> 01:17:23.479
But like I said, new design
coming too, sobroshop dot Com soon.

1203
01:17:23.560 --> 01:17:27.279
We still have the all your favorites
up there, the national hot T shirt.

1204
01:17:27.680 --> 01:17:30.800
I'm kind of working through the last
bit of coach, better play,

1205
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:32.640
better shirts. Those are kind of
on the way out, but that's I'm

1206
01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:35.000
gonna have to I'm gonna have to
discount those. But we still got some

1207
01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:40.279
tank tops for for the summer that's
coming up there. That's gonna do it

1208
01:17:40.319 --> 01:17:44.119
for us. For Bee Will,
I'm big natural Stoney Keeley And until next

1209
